When In Doubt, Surrender

One Million Ways to Surrender\u2026

If I were to write a thesis on my recent trip to Kauai, that would be the title.

I love that place.

The perfect blend of magik and majesty. Nature and nurture.

This time was different than last year when I was there.

Rainy, chilly, windy, turbulent.

And that was just the weather.

I went for a week long intensive of some of the deepest, most potent personal work I\u2019ve done so far.
I was stretched -- in all the ways.

At the beginning of one of my initial fathomless dives, my guides gave me a navigational tip to support my experience.

They knew where I\u2019d be going and what would be required of me to open into the transformation at hand.

This gentle Grace served as narrator, cheerleader, lover, and healer throughout the tight places and seemingly untraversable landscapes I encountered.

When In Doubt, Surrender.

On Wild Soul Medicine Radio this week, I attempt to translate the depths of the wisdom of these four little words.

Profound and simple.

Complex and far-reaching.

All of Life is really a game of Surrender.

Letting go of our ideas of separation and control.

Merging and melting back into the Flow that is our origin and our Home.

Some highlights to listen for:
(08:20) \u201cAs we\u2019re navigating a very turbulent, windy, chilly, intense world; is surrender our best option?\u201d

(16:00) The Doubt in Surrender

(21:40) The Trust Trap

(33:10) \u201cThere was tears, there was anger, there was nausea and I don\u2019t know how to do this\u2026 and then there was surrender.\u201d

(43:20) Can We Surrender Our Comforts?

(48:40) Beyond the white flag

The ego has MUCH to say about this.

But, but, but\u2026 what about this and THAT and\u2026 not here\u2026. No WAY!

And believe me, in my journeys I knocked on many, many doors to find a way this little gem DOESN\u2019T apply.

So far, it seems to be the best advice I\u2019ve ever received.

I\u2019m still unraveling its wisdom and look forward to drinking deeper of this Medicine with you.

If you\u2019re not sure you can/will/or should listen this week.

Surrender.

I\u2019ll meet you there.
